Each article is available as a PostScript file with gzip compression. A wide
variety of compression programs and Postscript viewers is available on most
platforms to uncompress and view these files. These files are all stored on
this Web site, so you don't have to worry about individual articles being
unavailable or unreadable. Users who for some reason cannot handle gzip
compression can access versions with zip compression - as well as uncompressed
versions (which may take a long time to download) - via the Web site of UM97.

You can access the individual articles in the traditional way via the Table of Contents.
By selecting an article you will access a page with various types of information
about the article, including a link to the PostScript file.

A richer index of the full papers and the poster summaries is provided by the
Reader's Guide.

A Few Tips

Don't worry if the file can't be viewed satisfactorily in your PostScript
previewer.

Although some on-line previewers have difficulty with some of the files,
there have been no reports of difficulties in printing the files on
PostScript-capable laser printers (on European A4 or U.S. letter paper).

When citing an article, you can refer to individual pages if necessary.

The page numbering in the on-line versions is the same as in the printed
proceedings volume.

When citing an article, please include the full bibliographic information,
which is given at the top of the first page, including the reference to the
Web site http:////www.um.org.

Faced with an imprecise citation like "Proceedings of UM97", many readers
will have no idea of how to get hold of the article in question.

LaTeX users can copy the BibTeX entry given on the page with
the article's abstract--or download the BibTeX database for
the entire volume.
